Hi,

Just wondering what actually happens when we flag a comment. I have a few questions.

Does it go onto a type of list?
Does it show the comment, the author, and the location of the comment?
How many times does a comment have to be flagged to be noticed?
Do mods/admins actively check this list (or whatever it is)?
Is this similar to the defunct upvote function which only increases the size of the text?
Do all mods/admins have the ability to see flagged comments?

These questions will probably only be answerable by a mod/admin, as normal users have no control/view of this system.

Thanks!

Nah Cen...I thought it was a perma ban?

They have to ask/report to Carlie. She is the one with permaban abilities.
Saw Zoph hit Packers with her hammer. Still isn't back. And it's been like a fortnight already.

Well. If the profile is still there: either lost interest, or the ban was prolonged (or I forgot the max).
If the profile is gone: Carlie has been summoned.

Flipsky is... kind of a mystery...
As far as I know: He changes from green to blue and back once in a while, is an admin... I guess he is able to, but I really do not know exactly.

Ah Flawed_Logic..what can we expect though...

Haven't seen him in long time though. Though I suppose he is an admin.

He's a part of the staff.
He works for Armorgames, but he doesn't have the power of an Admin... I think?

Sorry for going way back when but...

Probably only the location and the comment.


It probably shows the all of the above. If it didn't show the author, then the mods wouldn't know who to ban/yell at.

Who is Switchfoot and what did he do?
Switchfoot is a christian band. I don't know what they did, but all I know about them is that they are a christian band...

-Who is Switchfoot and what did he do?

Possible mod candidate to most regular users. He then went crazy and posted pornsites all over the page.
Also art theft and so on.
As of what I know.

That could be debated, most their songs aren't really Christianity related.

Well the comment shows who posted it, so their list or whatever they have wouldn't need to also show a name.
